- This is a great, non invasive, way to stretch the muscles situated deep within the pelvic and gluteal area.
I've use this technique with both men and women to release and desensitize the pelvic floor and work on one specific muscle - the obturator internus.
This is an important muscle because it functions as part of the pelvic floor as well as a hip rotator. Which means anything from your foot up can effect your hip and therefore your floor.
When you step back and take a whole body approach to rehab you may find that certain areas like the internal obturator muscle are held tight by the nervous system.
Applying pressure with a bottle actually dampens down the neural drive and can help restore normal tone and mobility to the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Step 1: Sit on a flat chair, then put a bottle half filled with water at a roughly 45 degrees angle under the ischial bone (place the top of the bottle the way you feel most comfortable with), this way the bottle slides up onto the inside of the bone and ever so slightly puts a stretch on the pelvic floor.
Step 2: Next, move for one minute across the three planes (sagittal, frontal and transversal) on each side.

Ed thank you for this video it is really painful when on the bottle untill I deep breathe and relax my breathing and when the muscle loosens my hip hike and pelvic floor relaxes. Is it normal for it to be painful?
I've been doing this exercise for the last 3 days consistently and not only is the tension in my hips gone, but a pain I had for 2 weeks in the muscles behind my left knee are completely gone. I really appreciate this and will continue this exercise as it has really aided in releasing the tension in my pelvis.
Wow, that’s amazing. Thank you for sharing.
@edpaget I feel a constant need to urinate and get no relief when doing so. The UTI is long gone yet these awful symptoms remain. I was told this is due to pelvic floor tightening. I’m on urabel and another Medicine e with little relief. Any ideas on what else I can do to get rid of this.
@@MsKasiulenka did you get better?
Oh my God man I’m sitting here on my couch thinking I’m gonna die and as soon as I stuck that bottle on my pelvic floor, I immediately feel relief. Thank you so much for helping you just save me a doctor trip.
What symptoms were you having? Are you better?
Hello, first of all, I hope this technique has been of great help, now my question, what problems did you have and did you see this release?
I’ve been dealing with a tight pelvic floor for years. I’ve been able to keep most of my symptoms to a minimum by doing stretches. But this water bottle trick has made me symptom free after only a few days. I use a swell brand water bottle, I find it works a little better because it has no flex. Thank you!
Do you still do this bottle trick daily? I mean is the relief permanent in few days or you need to keep doing this daily? Please tell mike....im suffering so bad from this😭
@@bro-ro2og do you have pelvic pain?
@@pankajkumar00001 no bro no pelvic pain but i feel pelvic pressure like someone is squeezing that area , pain on penis head. Also constipation.
@@bro-ro2og
I have same problem with frequency urination also
What you did is it cured? Please reply
@@habeebullahkhader6792 no bro it's same...this tight pelvic is causing all the problem...we need a physical therapist I saw on internet ... remain in touch bro and please share your WhatsApp if you want so that whatever progress we make we can share among us
So two weeks ago I started having weak urine flow, urine retention, dribble, sting pain in penis head, and each day it got worst. I thought I was having a UTI. Had blood work, PSA prostate test, Urinalysis and doctor even put me on flomax thinking I rapidly got an enlarged prostate. No hint of pelvic floor muscles from anyone. I couldn’t wrap my head around it cause it was so onset but I didn’t feel spasming clenching. I stumbled across this video and realized I had localized pain / tight muscles by my groin, and pelvic sitz bone. Instead of rolling the bottle, I did shoulder wide squat and sat on the top of a ocean spay cranberry bottle. I know weird right, but I just sat on the bottle cap for 3-4 minute on the few spots that are tender and already noticing an improvement on day one. This crap has scared me so much, like wtf, I thought I was losing muscle function. Btw I’m a 43 year old male. Thank you sir, I just took your method and used it to apply more pressure on the spots.
Hi Mate, how are you going with it one months onwards?
Sounds like your pelvic floor is compressing your pudendal nerve on one side and your feeling it in the dorsal branch.
How's it working? I'm 44 and in the same bloody boat
Same here any updste?
I'm 47 and same shit for 5 yrs.
I just did this and I’m not gonna lie, It felt like my body needed this all these years, felt like heaven
Glad I found this video. Have chronic IBS, pelvic floor prolapse sx twice, partial hysterectomy and very painful sex. Dr never mentioned pelvic floor therapy until now after I watch pelvic videos. This pelvic floor exercise is really helping and shifting my pelvic floor back in place. Thank you for sharing. I have been struggling with back pain, pelvic pain for over a decade.
Check out a pelvic physiotherapy clinic, thye specialise in these muscles and a good one can give all sorts of stretching and relaxiation ideas
@@queenofscrolls7585I've been going to a physical therapist for pelvic floor. It's been life alerting.
Some people like painful sex so it's all a matter of mindset really.
i thought these comments were gonna be way funnier
Great. My friends are out on St Patricks day celebrating and I am at home sitting on a bottle... FML
Well, a bottle under ya is better than a frontal lobotomy…
There’s alot of pelvic floor stretches being put out. Learning them has saved my life. I went years of suffering and spent thousands of dollars on doctors, supplements and health foods that got me nowhere.
@@stonesoup842 can you please share the streches ?
@@haroudiben6471 dr bri’s vibrant pelvic health has some great stretches for mens pelvic floor. It’s on TH-cam. Keep an open mind and try it out. They work!

I was like…..I hope you don’t have to put that bottle up your butt
Me too!
I did it anyway
I wish a lot thank you sir..for sharing the technique of treating the pelvis..may you and your family live in happiness
This relieved lower back & hip pain for me. Chiropractors told me it was sciatica, but I know it was because my hips were traumatized & I was holding onto emotions. I had to learn to let go of fear to communicate effectively with myself & others. Thanks for this!
You are welcome!
I'm going to try this tonight. I've got PGAD and was told by a pelvic physical therapist that my pelvic floor muscles were tight. I hope this works.
How are you now?
thank heavens for the internet and thank you so much!
Thank you very much. It really helped, I am having severe pain on below testicles, especially on the left due to chronic pelvic pain/ chronic prostatitis. To be fair most of the strecthes I found don`t work that much. Did this bottle strecth and now feel very relaxed.
Great news
@B.S.4.C How many times did she recommend you to do this bottle exercise? I think I am suffering from the same thing that you are.
Has this helped?
Thanks a lot, I have tried many things before! But this really made an improvement in my pelvic floor pain!
I've had this pain for a week and after watching and applying this video the pain vanished the next day!!! Probably one of the most annoying injuries i've ever experienced thank you for this I really thought it was something more serious and was contemplating seeing a doctor about it
That's great news. I'm glad it worked for you!
Do you do this regularly or it just got fixed with that single time use? Please tell.
But I don't understand what he's doing?
Amazing, so simple yet so effective. Big up for you man for this video
Thanks to you and Christina, this healed a lot of my suffering of 4 years.
That’s great news
What were your symptoms?
@@Knud451 constipation, numbness, severe depression, social withdrawal & weight gain.
@@Jameel1989 very good to hear that you're feeling better. And thanks for sharing.
@@Jameel1989 have you had any erection problem like no super hard erection ??
My pelvic floor is tight and it causes me to have frequent urination. The urgency to urinate builds up very fast and usually the urgency grows very strong when the 30 minutes mark hit, forcing me to go to the toilet. I tried the water bottle technique and it helps to really relax the pelvic floor and I also realised that it helps to remove my anxiety built up. I believe that tight pelvic floor can also cause anxiety as the tension in ur body cannot be released. Once I release the tension, I now can hold my pee for more than 1 hour and if there is anxiety built up, the anxiety will be gone. However, this water bottle technique needs to be used multiple times as my pelvic floor will get tight again once I continue with my lifestyle.
I believe that in order to solve pelvic floor completely, we still need to do more pelvic floor stretches and also change the bad habits that causes our pelvic floor dysfunction in the 1st place.
I also have the same issue, how much time will it take to show results, I am gonna try from now on.
@@velocitymusicc It shows result right away. But I have been doing pelvic stretches since before also.
@@WFH32 is bridge exercise helpful for fast recovery?
@@velocitymusicc Im not so sure on that.
@@WFH32 Sure, no worries, just wanna ask one last thing how you doing, i mean your issue got fixed? or still on progress
If you used a frozen bottle of water, would that make this even more effective? I think I'll try it
Can you do more video for pelvic floor extremely tight. Please! Tried this one and helped me
thank you I will keep doing this practice there was so much pain when i sat down on the bottle I hope it will be less painful with time, your system is simple and effective thank you
Being a pelvic pt..i would like to say this technique works really well as a release and in cases of pain in the pelvic floor..
I went to my local physio who specialises in pelvic health and I told her about my hip and lower back pain. She asked me if I have any pelvic floor concerns and I told her that sometimes when I clench my anus I get a painful pulling sensation in my hip. She did briefly mention the OI muscle and that it can be massaged internally. But she said that it’s not usually the first treatment she would go to. I am a male and I was thinking to myself that perhaps she is uncomfortable performing such a treatment on me. Or perhaps she just doesn’t think it is necessary for me. It’s a very embarrassing topic and to ask her to do it for me seems weird. Maybe I should seek out a male therapist to do it?
@TomBoxleitner an internal release is not always the first line of treatment because it's quite deeper to palpate from internally and sometimes not that comfortable for the patient,secondly yes your consent and comfort is of utmost importance, so if you feel you need a male therapist you can go ahead for the same.
Third, consciously try keeping your anus relaxed, whenever u remember and just try doing diaphragmatic breathing to get an idea of how ua muscles would feel when u relax, ( think as if u wana pass gas but don't strain or push)..
Wishing you speedy recovery!
I am not so sure, but it seems that you have just saved my life. Literally. It seems that this bottle idea is working, and if it is... you have saved my life. I will be in debt with you forever!
Hello, first of all, I hope this technique has been of great help, now my question, what problems did you have and did you see this release?
Is the bottle supposed to go on both sides of that sitting bone, or only on the inner side? Also, I am guessing a metal bottle or a tube of deodorant can be used instead of a plastic bottle? I feel quite a bit of discomfort and pain during this exercise, so I'm not sure I'm doing it right.
Hello I did try this twice now and has worked wonderful. Thanks for posting the video. Its a lifesaver 😊
Glad it helped!
Thank you brotha, i tried this today and im noticing immediate results.
Excellent, I’m so pleased.
@@EdPaget bottle is 0.5 or 1 L ??
How tough is that bottle, Ed? Is it fairly substantive? Does the bottle need to have some flexibility or is it completely firm and without any give?
Filled half way with water allows it some give.
@@EdPaget thanks
So it’s a plastic water bottle?
@@bassrocks100no shit
I’m about to try this. I’ve been having problems since having my baby two years ago. It’s so painful having a tight pelvic floor.
Excellent idea!!! I was wondering how I’m gonna be able to give it good pressure
Let me know how it goes.
Do you think it can help relax a tight pelvic floor to prevent PE?
From everything I've been reading about tight pelvic floor, yes
How did it help bro?
what are the benefits of this can of exercise?
Can this technique cause any damage if done incorrectly
I’ve had hip pain for about 10 years now, and I would keep getting a diagnosis of FAI after doing this, and stretching out my obturator internus, my Hip feels so much more mobile and the pain is almost gone not 100% but it’s progress that I’ve never had before thank you can you talk a bit more or what else we can do about issues why this muscle can contribute to hip pain and FAI???
I had some changes in my life over the past two years (new house, new bike, new furniture) and I went from no hip pain to not being able to hardly walk. It started with an unrelated thing (a bad callous on the bottom of my foot then a strained Achilles both of which caused limping which didn't help). then my fix was new professionally fitted athletic shoes that were too narrow in the toe box and then I got a bunion. More limping ensued. What resulted from all this change and little issues was a zero to 60 hip pain and pelvic pain out of nowhere. I swear it feels like my hips went from fine to brittle overnight. And the inner thigh/groin pain and low pelvic pain has me worried it's a hernia but I don't have a classic bulge. I do get a swollen lower pelvis on one side right after walking a few miles but it also hurts in the inner thighs and hip flexors and that little chicken bone thing that connects the leg to the pelvis. I hope it's the OI. I would hate to think I have a hernia or a severe case of surprise hip arthritis. I just tried my first bottle exercise. It felt painfully good. I weight 200 pounds so hope I don't cause contents to go all over the kitchen.
You can send me a message at edpaget.com of you want to discuss your situation in more detail.
Man this sounds like my testimony honestly just recently started happening , how are you doing now Don Mulder?
@@datboymike806bme Had a hernia. Had surgery which went well. 8 weeks post op now and still feeling surgery related pain. Oddly the inner high and hip flexor pain went away right after surgery -- but has since come back. So not sure if the anesthesia blocked the arthritis pain or my hip pain was really just hernia pain that resolved with surgery and now just flaring up as hernia repairs are known to do. I guess it could be both -- a hernia that is resolved, surgery recovery and healing and arthritis. Getting old sucks. Hope yours resolves soon.
I feel like I am doing this incorrectly and it’s leading to together urinary flow. Is there a diagram with muscles you could share? It would be deeply appreciated
It's way too vague. Did you figure it out?
How long we should do this bottle exercise, and result shows in how many days is it permanent cure or epsome salt is more effective n permanent?
Is it supposed to hurt at first?
How often and long should one do this for and does it help with PE?
Hi Ed, I am 29 year old male, I have a serious hypertonic pelvic floor which keeps contracting instead of relaxing, also affecting my sexual and bowel function, also affecting my lower extremities especially my legs, would this technique help me ? Thanks.
Maybe, it was taught to me by a pelvic floor physiotherapist, Christina Christie. Make sure you get thoroughly evaluated by a professional first.
Same here bro, I too 29 did you get any solution for you problem please suggest me

I've similar symptoms. None of hundreds of doctors I've been to could identify my problem. They just see that abductors and fascia are really tight and I've got some kind of cramps in pelvic floor. Could you find any soultion to that problem? I found out that sleeping with a pillow under my knees seems to help a bit. Or lying on the right side with a pillow between my knees. May be helpful...
I’m a male 22 years old. Sorry to get gross here but I’m desperate and need help. I’m so depressed lonely and weak I feel like my life is over. I’m living true misery. I have had pelvic issues for 4 years. I had a hemorrhoidectomy. Never fully recovered anus is still very tight. I’m a body builder. Can’t go to the gym for even 3 30 minute sessions a week. Gets so tight that it’s hard to have bowel movement. I’m not constipated I’ve tried everything from ointments diets surgery. I may have ani Levator syndrome. I’m so desperate to get back in the gym and have my life back. I’ve lost so much weight and haven’t had a dating life in over a year because of how much this has wrecked my confidence and joy of life. I hope there’s someone who reads this who can relate and possibly give some advice. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m broke from medical bills and still suffering. If you read this far thanks. I’m praying for whoever else is going through pain. I wish I could be better.
I’m 20, been dealing with pelvic issues for about a year. I too want my life back. I just want to be able to sleep a full night without waking up multiple times again.
lmk if you find anything that helps, i started going through stuff with my pelvic floor about 6 months ago and i already cant take it. praying for you man
Start researching pelvic floor pain and the tactics that all these wonderful people use to fix said pain, do not give up and stretch every single day !!!!!!!!
Keep your chin up and though I did not have a surgery to recover from my own journey is close to yours and I have found relief through stretching and physical therapy !!!!!!!!
Try dry needling also ( life changing )
Best of luck and keep your eye on the end of the tunnel cause it truly exists !!!!!
You need a physical therapist to massage the muscles. She is also giving me advice on what to what. Never sit longer than 30 minutes, walk everyday for at least 30 minutes, hold your urine for at least 2 hours and ignore the urge/do not fight it! Calmly go to the bathroom. I’m 7 months in, better but not completely… I’m praying I get full control of my life back. 25 years old. Ask any doctor who treats hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction
Massage will help , at your lower back massage it upwards not downwards a little high in the anus area up to the lower spine in the middle it helps me big just use oil or gel or even powder and the right
streching will help not completely but would lessen the pain and niw i cn urinate with out pain by as much 90%
Are saddle seats better than standard seats as far as a tight pelvic floor is concerned?
Thank you for your truth. I was just in excruciating pain for 2 months.gone in 30 minutes 😮thank you

Great Ed! You got mi like. I have chronic pelvic floor contraction due to a mal Praxis with a spinal anestishia 23 years algo. At the moment I AM 54 and it has caused me since day one difficulty urining, constipación although My stool is more thsn soft and lost eyaculaction contraction.

There are many other exercises but you should consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist. Try Christina www.pelvicsolutions.com/pages/about-us
Now how is your pelvic floor
Do you advise a plastic or glass bottle?
plastic, it has to give a little to be comfortable, hence half full or 3/4 full with water.
Thank you so much you have given me hope that’s all I’ve ever wanted
You are welcome
Wow, this really helped me. Thanks for that! Used a lacrosse ball.
Good improvisation, well done.
In a normal pelvic floor would they not feel pain with it?
Hi. Was just diagnosed with pfd, hypertonic pelvic floor and a moderate anterior rectocele. How many times a day can I do the bottle exercise for best benefit?
Move it back and forth about 10 time and try it 2 times a day to start with. Stop if the pain gets worse.
@@EdPagetDo you have to do this everyday for rest of my life or is this a cure?
After prostrate removal didn't have a lot leakage because started physical therapy a few months before; however, I continued PT after surgery, was fairly dry but then things got worst. Therapist felt issue was overworked pelvic floor and trained me in identifying pressure points along the pelvic floor and to use pressure. Results were great. Thing is, still do the pressure points with my fingers but still leaking. Seems this exercise is far more broad based than using a finger around the pelvic floor muscle. Should I see even better results than just using a finger along the obvious tight areas of the pelvic floor where it attaches to the pelvic bone area?
It’s more of a general stretch. Try it and let us know.
try to loosen and retain pew 20-30 times everytime you need to evacuate your uretra or tighten as many times u want your anal sphinctere or as lift up your testicles it helps a lot
.. had the same problem after prostatic surgery
What are the trigger points?
Ohh that's what you're supposed to do with the bottle. Guess I've been doing it wrong all this time. Very informative.
😂
I have been diagnosed with prostatitis even though there isn't any bacteria found in my urine and blood work.I have a constant pain in perineum .i was just wondering if this exercise helped someone with perineum pain
Yes it can, be careful not to put the bottle too close to your prostate area as it may irritate it.
Is it causing difficult urination
Hey, how did things go with the prostatitis did it ever go away?
Huh...eased my epididymitis pain. I'm puzzled. ????
Make any sense to you?
Either way..thanx!
Interesting. Perhaps it helped increase blood and lymph flow.
Can we use a plastic wrapping roller as a bottle..???
It should have a little given in it otherwise it might be too painful
Excellent way of releasing tight pelvis! The genius is in its simplicity!
Hoping this will help with hip flexor lower back and even Bursitis nerve pain?
It might but you probably need an evaluation and then some more specific exercises. Email me to see if I can help. ed@edpaget.com
Thanks for your video and help the other, I have Pulsatile Sensation between my leg and in my core area going to my legs and stomach and all around the body. Can this exercise help me to relieve the symptoms
You can try it, but I don't specifically know if it will help.
Is that a specialized chair that you are using?
Nope, just a chair.
I have been dealing with so much pain, it feels like i am menstruating and having the worst stomach flu ever constantly with a lot of tension in my pelvic. This has been going on for months and to the point that I started passing out when it became too much.
I tried so many things and hospitals and no one knew what was wrong. I then heard from my gynaecologist that it might be because my pelvic floor is extremely tense and I found this.. I hope this is going to help for me because I can’t live like this.. My education and work is on the stake because I can’t do anything..
Ok, let us know how you get on.
has it worked out? :(
Hey listen. I got it❗ 👂🏾
The pelvic floor problem is that your using your pelvic muscles to breathe.. Also your lower abdomen. What gave me instant relief was pressure on the lower abdomen instead of the pelvic floor muscles. If you only release JUST the pelvic floor, it can be very easy to get back to pelvic floor breathing. But if you cut it off at the abdomen (lower) it cuts the pelvic floor as well. Now the idea is to put pressure on both sides of the region. (Not the middle) and breathe deep a couple times until you feel you have eased use of the lower abdomen to breathe. Walla... Gone
The pelvic floor NEEDS the lower abdomen, it seems
@@Millzlane i just can't thank you enough bro.... you relieved my pain that was there from the last 48 hours
@user-uy8ke4eb2r I'm glad someone caught this comment. I see so many people suffering with this. But umm... Other tips? 🤔 oh. I keep my lower abdomen loose to last longer. I breathe with my stomach area but DON'T clench. No contraction 👌🏾
@@MillzlaneI don’t get it bro, so put 2 bottles under??
I’ve been thinking this is causing problems. I definitely concentrate breathing and tension in around that area. What symptoms did you have and how long until they went away?
Will these treat tight pelvic floor causing constipation?
I was feeling a bit bunged up when I tried this, after which I had the urge to go to the toilet, so I would say yes!
Started doing this a few weeks ago. Really releases the tension and pain for me. Atleast temporary but any treatment helps. Plus its free
You are welcome
How are now a year on?
@@michaelfern4079 Dont do it daily, my symptoms naturally have decreased. Used oxytrol patches for a year that helped

Yes
Love this exercise! Happy new year of 2024 🎉
Happy New Year to you to.
Is it glass or plastic bottle and how many times should the exercise be applied?
@@AbisaiMundia plastic so it hasn’t given it that’s why you fill it half full of water. you can do it up to 10 times.
Hi Ed thanks for the Video, i tried it, on the left side it feels okay and on the right side it feels abit painful, and the following day the pressure feels abit more than usual like a flare up, should i continue? Is it a good thing, like o have triggered the issue.
Hi, how are you? what did you do in the end
Hi I’ve had painful cramp/spasm type episodes in my levator ani muscle just on my right side, for about 8 years now, it’s been unbearable trying to live with this. Would this help target that area do you think? I’m happy to give anything a go.
Many thanks
yes, you should try it.
I have levator Ani also and it’s extremely painful and many times debilitating . Definitely going to try this exercise /release of my hypertonic floor
Will a bottle of Bourbon work or is Scotch better?
Hey a lady here. I have overactive pelvic floor. Currently I'm trying to relax those musles.But what kind of exercises should I avoid? Can I do the normal strengthning or any kind of cardio workouts beside these relaxation?
Ideally you would find out the reason for the hyperactive muscles. The pelvic floor physio would be able to help. In the meantime you could do yoga for your hips as some of the muscles connects to the pelvic floor.
How do I fix this long term?
I can’t exactly do this at work
I’m going to try this right now. I just left the urologist. My pelvic floor muscles are so tight I can hardly urinate, they just won’t relax enough
Also could be something else. Make sure you see your doctor.
I’m 18 and my pelvic floor is extremely tight. Takes me a couple minutes to void urine each time and it requires a lot of focus. I’ve had times where it would take 10 minutes of standing infront of the toilet to void urine. Sex is also quite painful most times. This water bottle trick helped a bit, mostly with the constipation part, but I’m still dealing with the same problems. What should I do?
I also have testicular pain
What’s up man. I’m 19 years old and I’m dealing with the same thing. I’m not sure if this is the same for you but I used to masturbate daily and that’s what contributed to my tightness. If I can tell you anything it would be get down to 1-2 times a month. It’s been helping a lot. Also don’t watch porn. It’ll fuck up your view of women.
I would see a specialists physiotherapist or osteopath.
How is it going? I had the same issue around your age.
I'm going to try this. Thx!!
Will this help with oab from tight pelvic floor?
Where does this bottle go?
for how many times we can do this??
Hey Mr Ed Paget need advice. Diagnosed with pelvic floor dys, tight puborectalus, having MRI to check pudendal nerve. Have pain, swelling, pressure in rectum over year. Started out as hemroids. Then interstitial cystitis and trouble pooping hence tests that showed tight puborectalus. Been to four gi docs. All say pelvic floor dys and dismiss me. Could it b prolapse rectum? Going back to urologist,who is pelvic floor specialist. One GI said internal hemroids and banded one. I was in horrible pain all day. Last GI said internal hemroids fine. Went to neurologist for MRI on lower back , which is sensitive to touch. Going for another MRI on Pudendal nerve. Done pt exercise over year. Had Botox in rectum and allograft in pelvic floor last year. Never helped rectum pain. Pooping is usually fine. Have had episodes where trouble passing gas. Feels like pressure or something in way. Can't get drs to listen. Just want to treat symptoms and not get to the root. Had colonoscopy two years ago. They have checked rectum for tumors. I do a lot of standing to relieve rectum issues. When pressure hits, go t bed. Would this help me? Any advice appreciated. They all say pain in rectum from pelvic floor. Vagina fine. Please answer...
did you get any help and relief?
Is it same or different from pudendal neuralgia
hello, great video I will try it, ı have a question, I was looking the pelvic floor videos for ERECTILE DISFUNCTION and premature EJACULATION, Does it also fix those kinds of problems? cold help me regarding that isue thank you for your answer in advance!
It might.
Did to7 try the exercise?
I had no water bottle, so I tried a pool noodle cut down to 10 inch pieces. Works not too bad, great for sitting. Feels great.
Thanks.
That's a great idea!
Is the bottle you use glass or plastic?
@@Knowyourintent plastic, it needs to be a little soft.
Hi Ed
I'm having severe penile pain from the last 2 years. My docs can't get what it is but it aggregates with processed foods and meats( Red ). Could you please tell me if that is CPPS. I have urinary issues as well. This pain comes and goes. Started after a suspected kidney infection. Need your help please.😣
Look at nitrate allergies.
Great video can't wait to try thanks
How many minutes per day ?
Can we do this exercise in pregnancy (second trimester) ?
Can it be done sitting on any kind of chair?
Yes as long as it isn't too soft
How often should I do this ? Daily ?
Move it back and forth about 10 times and try it 2 times a day to start with. Stop if the pain gets worse.
Would this work the same as using your finger to push in and put pressure on it as well?
Maybe. Try it.
@@EdPagetI’m seeing a physiotherapist for the same pelvic issues from a year ago and this has helped again so much. Can’t say thank you enough!
I thought my prostate was acting up, but everything came back negative. Then a physical therapist told me about pelvic floor muscles. I had no idea. I have inflammatory bowel disease with a lot of urgency, and it's caused me to involuntarily tighten my pelvic floor muscles so badly I can hardly even pee. And the muscles can spasm, and cause me sharp pains. I hope to have relief soon now that I know about all of this...I hate needing to pee 13+ times a day.
Tell us how it goes.
How are you now sir? It’s been 4 months.
@@michaelfern4079 I’m doing better. I just need to make sure I do my pelvic floor exercises and massage otherwise it comes back.
Can you please show exactly where the placement should be? It's hard to tell if I've got it positioned correctly
Medial side of the ischial tuberosity, over the obturator internus muscle. You can look up where those anatomical points are.
I want sure myself but I just tried it and there's not much room for it to go to too many different places. Just mirror the doc's example in the video and sit down on it. I fiddled with it a few moments but there was really only one way it would accommodate me sitting on it where the doc had the bottle. It felt very good.
is it useful for post urinary dribble? ;'(
is this useful for incomplete evacuation caused by tight pelvic floor?
Possibly, try it and let us know.
Will this help adjust the pelvic floor? Mine has been pushed forward and I can't get my excretion through.
I would suggest seeing a male pelvic floor specialist.
Wow its like slmost stretching mucles u did know u had anymore felk better more relaxed loose chill. Thsnk u for thst tip
I love to learn. Make eatch day a litte wiser
I’ve had constant numbness in my saddle area. My neurologist and urologist couldn’t find anything. I’m wondering, could my pudendal nerve be compressed? I had an mri of sacrum but neuro couldn’t find anything … I’m at a loss.
About 9 years ago I had pains and problems and went to many doctors. One said my prostate was enlarged and had me on a super strong antibiotic. I got terrible hives from it and stopped. A friend told me about his pelvic pain saga. I went to his urologist who said prostate was normal. Btw antibiotics cant even penetrate inside prostate i am told.
So he sent me to PT. Only a few know how to do this. I have had amazing results with PT. They can electrically measure how tight you are clamped up. Explained to me about the pelvic muscles are like a fist. Imagine you hold your fist tightly for 5 minutes. Feels a little bad afterward for a minute to loosen up. Then imagine you tighten that fist for an hour. Takes linger afterward to message it back to normal. Then imagine you make a fist for a year! That isnt going to be easy to get back to normal. That is exactly what happens!
And we are basically fighting ourselves over the pain, with the pelvic floor trying to contract away from the pain. Ouch.
My PT was combo of hot pads placed on me to relax, then she did external and internal work. It sounds weird but by God it works. It can hurt too. The also teach you exercises etc.
Find one of those PT who knows this. Hard to find a dr but you can. Also get a standing desk. We sit way too much. Also try epson salts in warm baths. Really do up the TLC. As a guy I know I NEVER thought to take care of myself.
It can be addressed and ot can gp away. I had it come back a little 2 times but I got it worked back out again easier.
Good luck and I hope this helps to hear from another guy. We never talk much to buddies about health. Now I tell all my buds as a sort of mission. You can do it 👍
It could be. Try these as a gentle release, go easy to start with.
@DeliciousWontons I was going every week. They also taught exercises. I have read that some exercises can be overdone...work into it gradually. The treatments were usually started with them putting hot pads on my lower back and even using the tenze unit on my back. The pain radiated out to various places at various times. The first therapist I saw, who also was very experienced and taught other therapists, told me to visualize how your hand feels if you made a fit for 15minutes and then released. Then imagine a clenched fist for years and years. It can take a lot of work and relaxation techniques and time to undo the pain and stress.
Also, I found that a hot bathtub with epson salts, which is magnesium, really helped. I normally only ever shower, so a bath like that also makes you rest too. When you get home put your feet up. Anything to try to break the stress both physical and mental.
I had a few flareups but consider myself to be good. But I take ezmelt vitamin tab each day that has magnesium. And I try to keep standing, walking, just moving more. I dont want it back.
Talk to others and try to think as holistically as possible. One therapist told me that type a people who go go go all the time are prime candidates. Be kind to yourself and think long term solution. You will get better. Hang in there. Sending you healing thoughts and prayers.
@@JamieRobegreat story and glad to hear of your recovery. how easy was it to get a pelvic floor therapist?
@@michaelfern4079 in my area Tampa, there is a multioffice PT called OPPT. They seem to always have pelvic floor people. The way it works on most insurance is that you can just go for 30 days without a Doctors OK, and after that just get a primary care Dr to fax in an OK for more. My insurance has never had an issue. Seems to be an accepted treatment. I would call around. I know that my PT people have been treating men and women, with women much more prevalent. Probably since guys aren't talking about it as much with peers.
BTW a good PT will do manipulation but they should also be teaching you exercises and look at how you hold the pelvis and walk, etc. I have learned things about myself that I believe help me strengthen certain muscles to stop a kind of bad compensation thing. Every GD muscle in the body seems to be tied into the Pelvic floor 😄
How many minutes is 1 side and how many minutes is the other side?
Is it true,that obturatorius internus is not connected to the pelvic muscles,especially to the leg muscles?
Google the attachments for more detail but essentially it links the conjoint tendon in the pelvic floor to the femur.
I have hypertonic pelvic floor muscles will this help. please reply thank you so much
Yes it will
